“Show Dog was
developed for projects that require a paint or stain color to remain unchanged
by the application of a topcoat,” Woodcraft Product Manager Kent Harpool said.
“To achieve that goal, the urethane content in the Guard Dog Topcoat
formulation was reduced and the clearest acrylic available added to produce
Show Dog. That means a white painted surface will still be white after an
application.”

Guard Dog and
Show Dog were both developed to provide a stable, solid, cleanable covering to
protect Black Dog Salvage Paint, but they can also protect any project surface,
whether it be wood, plastic, ceramic, glass or metal.

“Despite its
different formulation, Show Dog is tough enough to protect interior furniture
surfaces against the abuses of everyday use so furniture always looks its
best,” Harpool said. “For projects where exact color is not a requirement or
stronger protection is needed, Guard Dog may be the best choice – especially
for woodworking projects and high-use surfaces like floors and countertops.”

Like Guard Dog,
Show Dog builds quickly,
making it an ideal choice for beginners and professionals alike, and both
products have low VOC and odor and are self-leveling to achieve a finish
without brush marks.

The design of the Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint Round Brushesis based on a round sash brush with some
important differences, the first being the long solid birch handle, which acts
as a counterbalance to the brushing action to reduce forearm and wrist fatigue
when painting. Secondly, the bristle portion is comprised of both natural and
synthetic bristles that are hand trimmed in a dome shape. The natural bristles
and dome shape convey paint to the surface, while the synthetic bristles help
the brush maintain its shape during repeated use.

Brushes come in
three sizes: #8, #10 and #14.

Black Dog Salvage
Furniture Paintis a water-based, easy-to-use interior paint that is
uniquely designed to adhere to most surfaces, dries fast to a smooth matte
finish, and can be used on finished or unfinished furniture, woodwork, metal
and glass. No priming is required, only a thorough cleaning, except in cases of
chipped or scratched areas that should be sanded before painting.

The paint is available in 14 premixed colors and a true black and a true
white, which allow easy mixing to create tints and shades of existing colors or
mix colors to create a brand-new color. Recipes for several new colors are
available in a free PDF on woodcraft.com.
